I'm very curious what kind of books or novels that helped non-native english speakers learn english a bit better. I am a Turkish-American who is bilingual but mainly speaks English outside of my household or cultural events. When my father was learning English in Turkiye, he said he said some of the works of Charles Dickens and Jules Verne. However, I am curious what kind of books are read in ENL classes or in english classes in non-english speaking countries. Thank you.

I want to ask an interesting questions where I want to know where countries that don't speak english as a primary language read during english learning classes to help improve their english. Like a novel. My Turkish father told me he read some Dickens and Verne in Turkiye. I prefer its a subreddit

I've been trying to get at the cowboy for a long time, but I need to beat "Badlands II" to buy the tower. Problem is Badlands II is a lot harder than it looks and I haven't been able to beat it at all. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. This is my first time in this subreddit. I have always wanted to get into Stephen King books. While I am very knowledgeable on the different books and titles he has written, I haven't actually gotten into any due to procrastination. I am looking for a Stephen King book to start off with. What should I start with and what should I avoid for now?

• Chi no Wadachi
• Tokyo Ghoul
• Homunculus
• Remina
• PTSD Radio
• Gyo
• Shiver: Selected Stories
• Uzumaki
• Tomie

After the first recommendation, it would also be greatly appreciated with what I should read next.

I was going through my Goodreads list to find some stuff I wanted to add to my read list when I came across East of Eden by John Steinbeck. Heard they are adapting this into a Netflix show but I would actually rather just read the book. However, I am picky with books when they come to having strange prose or sentence structures. Should I give it a shot?

What would you all say is a good alternative or replacement for the militant tower? I've been using it for a while and it used to be quite helpful for me. However, as a level 40+, I don't really think it holds up anymore and needs to be replaced. What would you all say are some good offensive units to replace it with at level 40+?

I’ve been curious about the comparison between Bret Easton Ellis and Chuck Palahniuk. Both are known for writing very raw, disturbing, and often highly controversial novels that challenge readers and push literary boundaries. I’d love to hear some in-depth thoughts on how their styles, themes, and overall approaches compare.

I haven’t read any of their books yet, but I know Palahniuk wrote Fight Club, Choke, and Haunted, while Ellis is best known for his magnum opus American Psycho, along with Less Than Zero and The Rules of Attraction.

Which author would you recommend starting with, and which of their works do you consider the most impactful (and why)? Are there specific books by one that stand out as stronger or more essential than the other’s?

Any insights or personal experiences with their writing would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve heard that Park Chan-Wook’s Oldboy is considered one of South Korea’s most prominent films, maybe behind Parasite possibly and others. However, I didn’t know that they made an American remake under Spike Lee. I’ve noticed that the United States often likes to remake Asian films. However, according to IMDb, Letterboxd, and a lot of other critics, these remake was not perceived well. I would like to ask the prestigious community of movies why this American remake didn’t perform as well? Thank you.

Yesterday, I saw a video by a YouTuber known as Brofessor Stein. He made a video in which he explained the most unhinged person of every century starting from Anno Domini. I found this video very interesting as he did a really good job describing each person and the strange or bizarre things they did. I tried to get more opinion and takes on this by asking AI, but the response was obviously watered down and filtered. So I come to this subreddit; who were some of the most unhinged or disturbed individuals of each century starting from AD?Thank you

I am here to ask a specific question about Selby's novel which would go onto be adapted into a critically acclaimed film by Darren Aronofsky. I am trying to place this book in a category as I like to put my books into different sects in order to allow me to find them quicker and compare with other books. Which of these shelves would the book go into? [Adapted], [ExtremeLit], [Drugs], or whatever you would suggest?

I was going through my Goodreads and I like to organize my books into different shelves before I start deciding which to read. However, I am quite stumped on whether or not I should place A Clockwork Orange into "ExtremeLit" or if I shouldn't be considered that. May I have all your thoughts please?

I was going through my Goodreads and I like to organize my books into different shelves before I start deciding which to read. However, I am quite stumped on whether or not I should place A Clockwork Orange into "ExtremeLit" or if it should go under the title of “Dystopia” or “Classics”. May I have the thoughts of the subreddit please?

Whenever I often watch movies, there is often at least one character who is either a complete jerk, or gets away with doing or saying the most insane things. I know this might be strange, but what are some films in which these said characters get what they deserve in either the most savage or crazy way ever? Thank you.
